The agency becomes the 12th in California to purchase zero-emission buses (ZEBs) from NFI.
Metro serves the Washington DC metropolitan area and provides approximately 79 million annual trips on 136 bus lines.
The buses are expected to begin service in 2023.
In 2018, GCTD adopted its zero-emissions policy, which directs staff to prioritize zero (and near-zero) emissions when replacing vehicles.
Supported by FTA funds, the new bus orders deliver on MTD’s pursuit of a 100% zero-emission fleet by 2030 and also fulfill the California Air Resources Board’s Innovative Clean Transit regulation.
DFW is the second busiest airport in the world, connecting 62.5 million customers to 267 international and domestic destinations every year.
Included in the contract are three 60-foot zero-emission, battery-electric Xcelsior CHARGE NG heavy-duty transit buses and four 40-foot battery-electric Xcelsior CHARGE NG transit buses.
COTA provides public transit in the greater Columbus and central Ohio region, delivering more than 19 million passenger trips in 2019.
The order follows a prior BT purchase of five Xcelsior Charge buses in thirty-five-foot and sixty-foot lengths, delivered in 2020.
